Description

    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention, as this specification states in its title, relates to a device for mounting the cylinder head of an engine intended for anchoring the cylinder head assembly to the engine block, in addition to allow further mounting other integral parts and pieces of the cylinder head, by using one-piece fixing elements that will be housed into faced holes of the cylinder head assembly and engine block.
  • Therefore, the objective of the invention are some characteristic one-piece fixing elements for connecting the cylinder head body to the engine block in solidarity, each of which further includes means for allowing mounting and fixing other additional integral parts or pieces of the cylinder head assembly.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Currently, internal combustion engines comprise a cylinder head that is connected to the engine block by using several fixing elements, the German Invention Patent with European publication number EP1086300 being known, for example.
  • This document basically describes a fixation of a cylinder head to the engine block by using pairs of screws in one direction, a lower one threaded into the engine block and another upper one threaded into the head of the lower screw, so that this type of mounting allows fixing additional components of the cylinder head.
  • On the other hand, it should be noted that the fixation between the cylinder head body and engine block by using one-piece threaded elements of great length is of public domain, so that each of which is arranged in a corresponding direction with threaded or non-threaded bores or holes of the engine block and cylinder head, respectively. These one-piece threaded elements do not allow fixing other additional parts or pieces of the cylinder head.
    • DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, the invention proposes a device for mounting the cylinder head of an engine, being of the type which uses one-piece long fixing elements for connecting the cylinder head body to the engine block in solidarity.
  • It is characterized in that each of the one-piece fixing elements comprises a lower portion with a lower threaded section to be screwed into the engine block in correspondence with a threaded hole, an intermediate thickening or lip including a means for tightening the one-piece fixing element assembly and an upper portion with an upper threaded section wherein at least one end nut for fixing additional pieces or parts to the head cylinder body is coupled.
  • The base free of intermediate thickening abuts against an upper area of the cylinder head body with the insertion of an intermediate washer for immobilizing said cylinder head body against the engine block itself when the one-piece fixing element assembly is rotated by using a suitable tool until reaching the maximum tightening torque, tool through which the one-piece fixing element is rotated until reaching said torque.
  • When tightening the end nuts for fixing the additional pieces or parts to the cylinder head body a washer can be sandwiched, being also possible to incorporate an extension for replacing the washer in the end nut itself. In any case the washers used in conjunction with the end nut have a height such that prevent the base of said nut from abuts, in its maximum tightening torque, against the cylinder head pieces, such as for example an additional piece wherein the rocker arm shaft is coupled.
  • On the other hand, the tightening means may for example consist of a hexagonal, dodecagonal head torque type, or any other configuration according to the appropriate tightening tool.
  • The means for tightening the one-piece fixing element assembly could also be located in the free end of the upper portion of such one-piece fixing element.
  • Next, in order to facilitate a better understanding of this specification and being an integral part thereof, some figures wherein with an illustrative and not limitative manner the object of the invention has been represented, are attached.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    • Figure 1. - Shows a sectional view wherein the fixation between a cylinder head and engine block by using the device for mounting the cylinder head of an engine, object of the invention, is shown. The device fixes the cylinder head body and also other additional parts or pieces of the cylinder head assembly. It basically comprises characteristic one-piece fixing elements.
    • Figure 2. - Shows a view similar to the previous one with some variations.
    • Figures 3 and 4. - Show end fixations of additional pieces of the cylinder head assembly wherein the characteristic one-piece fixing elements are included.
    • Figure 5. - Shows a view of a one-piece fixing element constituting the device of the invention.
    • Figure 6. - Shows another sectional view of the device of the invention.
    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the device for mounting the cylinder head of an engine comprises one-piece long fixing elements 1 through which the cylinder head 2 assembly is connected to an engine block 3 in solidarity.
  • For this purpose, each one-piece fixing element 1 comprises in the first place a lower portion 4 with a lower threaded end section 5 to be screwed into the engine block 3; in second place an intermediate thickening or lip 6 including a polygonal tightening head 7 and a stopping body 8; and in third place an upper portion 9 including an upper threaded end section 10 wherein an end nut 11 for fixing additional parts or pieces 12 to the cylinder head body 13, such as for example a rocker arm shaft support, is coupled.
  • When tightening the end nut 11 for fixing the additional pieces 12 a washer 14 can be sandwiched, as shown for example in Figure 2, or an annular extension 15 solidly connected to the end nut 11 itself can be included for replacing thereof, as shown more clearly in Figure 3, which annular extension 15 could be housed into a recess 16 of said additional pieces 12.
  • The annular free base 17 of the stopping body 8 of the intermediate lip 6 abuts against an upper area 18 of the cylinder head body 13, with the insertion of an intermediate washer 22, for ensuring its immobilization against the engine block 3 when the one-piece element assembly 1 is rotated by using a suitable tool acting therewith on the tightening head 7.
  • At a later stage, the additional pieces 12 of the cylinder head 2, which will sit on the cylinder head body 13 thus ensuring their fixing by using the end nuts 11, will be mounted.
  • Finally, it should be mentioned that the lower threaded end section 5 of the lower portion 4 ends in a narrow part 19 formed by a conical part and a cylindrical end. Thus, the initial threaded coupling of the one-piece fixing elements 1 to the engine block 3 is facilitated.
  • The cylinder head body 13 and engine block 3 have faced holes 20 and 21 into which the respective one-piece fixing elements 1 are housed, the holes 21 of the engine block 3 having a thread for screwing such one-piece fixing elements 1.
  • Finally, it should be mentioned that the contour of the stopping body 8 of the intermediate lip 6 does not protrude in relation to the contour of the tightening head 7 which is also part of the same intermediate lip 6.
